Importance of Business Law...

Description

Business law, also known as mercantile law or commercial law refers to a set of laws that govern the dealings regarding commercial matters, namely business organizations. It encompasses all laws that guide on how to set up a business and then how to run it. This includes all the laws that govern on how to set up, start, manage, run, close or sell a business. It includes contracts, laws of corporations, other business organizations, commercial papers, income tax, secured transactions, intellectual properties, and other transactions and dealings related to the business. How is Business Law important? The prime purpose of business law is to maintain order, resolve disputes, establish generally accepted standards, protect rights and liberties when it comes to business and its relation to other businesses, government authorities, and the customers. 

A Universal set of standards: Earlier, the customer had to suffer a lot due to the absence of a proper law that could safeguard their interests and money invested in a particular business. As there was no such law regarding maintenance of order, rights, and liabilities, etc., the business owners made their own standards and made the customers suffer just because of the greed to make more money. With the establishment of business law, many standards have been established which have to be followed by businesses worldwide.



Maintenance of Equilibrium: This creates a sense of satisfaction among customers. In the absence of the law, different countries had different laws regarding the business dealings which made it difficult for the customers as well as the seller to establish a deal. But now every country has the same standards, and the deal between buyer and seller is easily established. This brings ease in business dealings and transactions all across the globe.



Less chances of frauds: Business law helps the owners itself to get aware of the laws against other businesses and individuals. It also helps the individuals, to be aware of the rights against the businesses so that they can use them in case they fall prey to the frauds and misery of the business.



Presence of Ethical conduct: With the help of business law, business owners may make better decisions, and also know when to seek legal help. Every business has to maintain an ethical conduct but most businesses, in the greed to earn more profits; do not follow such conducts. Business law makes it mandatory for all the businesses to maintain an ethical conduct which in turn pleases the buyers and they form a good image of the business.

In a nutshell, business law is of immense importance to both the business as well as consumers in protecting their rights and get a better service....
